Judge favors Google vs. Apple

A Wisconsin judge dismissed a suit brought by Apple (AAPL) over Google's (GOOG) licensing of wireless patents it acquired when it bought Motorola Mobility. Because the case was dismissed with prejudice, Apple can't refile the suit at the district court level, although it can appeal, a patent consultant said. Google said it's still interested in reaching an agreement with Apple. Google shares fell 0.7% to 682.96.
